WTF??

Ok so what the heck was that all about? If you don't know what I am talking about then just step out your door and take a look at your fellow Buckeye's face and that will tell the story, No we didn't lose but we should have after the way we played. I will give a lot respect and props to Ohio University, they came to play and almost beat us AT HOME. How crazy is that? I didn't see the first half but I kept up with it on espn.com and you could just tell something was not right. I then got home and caught the second half and we looked better but not good enough to beat USC.

The worst part, well there are a lot of worse parts, but the most glaring is the fact that we probably just shot ourselves out of the national title. Yes I said it and I stand by it. Here's why I believe that: the poll voters have been looking for ANY reason to drop us out of the top 5, they don't want OSU to go back to the national championship and this poor performance gave them that opportunity. Yes we will probably fall to #5 or #6 and IF and that's a BIG IF, if we beat USC next week we still won't jump to #1, in fact we probably won't even make it to #3. Plus with our next game after USC being Troy it still doesn't look good. It's crazy to think that ONE game that we won will have this much impact on our season. However we did it to ourselves. I really don't understand what happened. Going into this game we should have been running and gunning. Instead we looked like we were playing an SEC team and we're scared to do anything.

I just can't believe that our three talented running backs aren't that talented. I mean come on they are All-American's in high school and should have run over OU's defense. I am just really amazed that they didn't do better. As for Todd and Pryor well Todd did an OK job, he kept us alive, but he really needs to find his groove especially with the O-Line not helping him much. Because if they don't he's going to be eating a lot of turf next week. As for Pryor, he didn't get much PT because of the situation, but he did look pretty good towards the end of the game even though the game was pretty much over.


Defense, defense, defense. Come on guys two TD's from Ohio University, TWO TD'S. That's just unacceptable. You guys are a lot better than that, next week is going to be tough I hope you guys step it up. You guys still rule all though!!

So what's left? Well not much, I hope Tress is able to get through to the team this week because we are going to be in a world of hurt come next Saturday night. I just don't know if we are going to be able to beat USC. I'll have my prediction and game stuff later this week.
